Main Road Ballarat East 1859-1900: Volume 2 Residents by Streetscape
Description
This historical directory (the second in a 3 volume series), is intended to fill a gap in the history of one of the most vibrant and intriguing streets on the planet at the time! Western Bate in his 1978 Lucky City: the first generation at Ballarat 1851-1901 (Melbourne University Press), referred to Main Road not only as one of the wealthiest streets in colonial Australia, but 'probably the most boisterous mile and a half of road that ever existed in Australia'. This historical directory will have primary appeal to anyone wishing to study their family history. Family history is arguably the fastest growing leisure time activity next to gardening! It will also have appeal to genealogists and other researchers interested in the early history of Ballarat.
